Halloween Cupcakes

Using a simple cupcake recipe, the decorations can be added on top for the real spooky effect. For these cupcakes I used a chocolate cupcake recipe.

Cupcake #1 - Ghosts
Ingredients:
 Chocolate Cupcakes
 White fondant icing
 Large marshmallows
 Black writing icing

Method:
1. On top of the cupcake, place a it of black writing icing in the centre and attach one marshmallow.
2. Roll out the white fondant icing and cut into a circle shape (big enough to cover the marhmallow).
3. Place on top of the marshmallow and manipulate so it falls as desired. 4. Decorate the icing with a scary ghost face!


Cupcake #2 - Pumpkin 
Ingredients:
Cupcake
Icing sugar
Orange food colouring (or red and yellow and combine)
Black writing icing

Method:
1. Create the icing with icing sugar and a small amount of water. Dye the icing sugar orange with food colouring.
2. Place on the cake and when dry (or in the process of drying) add a scary pumpkin face.


Cupcake #3 - Cobweb complete with Spider
Ingredients:
Cupcake
White writing icing
Black writing icing

Method:
1. With the white writing icing, create a cobweb across the entire cake.
2. Add a spider with the black icing for extra decoration.


Have a great Halloween!
